Force an HA Switch Over

You can manually initiate a High Availability (HA) switch over from the Web GUI.

• The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) from which you initiate the switch over must be in one of the following states: active, standby, or becoming standby.
• A manual switch over to the active state is allowed on an E-SBC only in the standby or becoming standby state when it has achieved full media, signaling, and configuration synchronization.
• A manual switch over to the active state is allowed on an E-SBC only in the standby or becoming standby state when it has a health score above the value that you configured for the threshold.

Performing the following procedure forces the E-SBCs in an HA pair to trade roles. The active system becomes the standby, and the standby system becomes active.

1. From the Web GUI, click the System tab.
2. On the System page, in the navigation pane, click Force HA switchover.
3. On the Force HA switch over page, click Switch to standby.
   The system performs the role change.
